Description 2nd state....  much remains to be added:
I have interiors, and  some fine sunflowers/lilies/etc,
and gnarly boulders, a wider tableau, musical instruments,
incl a spinet, much art, and some signs of technology
and science...I wish a certain muse with fine skills
could augment or finish this... I proceed at a glacial pace...
I shall credit the collaborator presently...

What a strange and quiet decor... Two sources of light . Is there a candle on the left of the philosopher?  The book he's reading reminds me something, but what?

Do you still want to see the earliest state?

 Sidney, this composition is the best, believe me! The reader is the central personnage. He must keep the attention,though sitting in a "half-shadow" ( the entrance    of
    the "cave!). Just extend the sea on the right, or heighten the  "castle" in order to hide the level of the sea?

extending the picture toward the right...

 No track here of this side "artificial addition" , some elements seeming added.  I have noticed that  in many a digital works.  If you have juxtaposed  foreground and  background, it's well done! I like a lot this work. I like a lot this peaceful reader. I'm admirative watching the way you've used your picture. It's a new form of art, for me. I'm curious to see  what you'll "do yet" with it!

There is much to add to this...
A much wider tableau ...
.... incl a few musical instruments
and a spinet, many books, some art,
and some techology and science artifacts...
...much else competes for my time...
I wish a certain more-skilled muse,
could add more, or finish this...
...I will continue work on this at a
a glacial pace ...

 This version is definitely the best one to me : the balance of the composition, the breathtaking stairs, the clothes, the face; the hands..Even the glasses aren't anachronistic.     I just miss the sea on the right.

I agree, but as usual I gave in to the impulse to expand the tableau and make it busier.
